the Adoption of Office 365
THE ADOPTION OF MICROSOFT OFFICE 365
As you may know, Microsoft offers schools free licences for Office 365 Education. This allows schools to use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote; collaborate using Microsoft Teams; and use other tools. With this service, educators can work together effectively and support student learning, optimize costs, and improve document digitization. What is great about this is that it does not commit schools to the long-term use of the service. However, purchasing software, applications, and licences is just the first step. For the technology to become a part of the day-to-day work at your school, an adoption process must follow.
WHY CONDUCT AN ADOPTION CAMPAIGN AT YOUR SCHOOL?

THE MICROSOFT OFFICE 365 ADOPTION PROCESS
The adoption of Microsoft Office 365 Education offers much more than just digital teacher–student–parent communication. Educators will become more effective in what they do, and you will discover creative teaching methods that are able to get children interested in a topic without realizing that they are being taught. What does the six-month cycle of working with selected teachers look like?
If your school already has a cloud solution, we examine how effectively it is used and define any necessary steps for improvement.
These services are self-financed
Individual training sessions are adapted to the needs, knowledge, and skills of each participant.
Between the training sessions, our remote assistance is available to you.
Teachers will be divided into groups according to their current knowledge. This builds on Training 1.
This period will be filled in by webinars designed primarily to repeat topics. Webinars will be uploaded and serve as a basis for self-study. Webinars use Microsoft Teams technology.
The final training session builds on the two previous ones and supplements any topics that have not yet been covered.
Even after the training, participants can contact us with any questions.
At the end of the training process, you can take a short quiz and get a Microsoft certificate.
After the whole process is completed, a meeting with the school management is organized where the teacher training process is evaluated and further objectives are set. They can include a series of additional training sessions, the purchasing of new hardware for the school, and a move towards incorporating these technologies in the classroom and in teaching specific subjects.
